Fresh From Naturipe

They may be tiny in size but Naturipe® blueberries are big on flavor and health benefits. Naturipe growers have been growing blueberries for generations on their farms. These families take tremendous pride in what they do and it shows. Blueberries are one of the few truly blue foods on earth, but they don’t start that way. They first appear white, turn red and finally blue, making them an All-American berry.

Naturipe blueberries are grown in many locations throughout North America and Canada from March through October, and in Chile, Peru, Uruguay, Argentina and Mexico during the winter months. Naturipe Farms offers conventional and organic blueberries year-round in a variety of package sizes, including our ready-to-eat blueberry snack packs.

{ How to Select, Store, & Handle }

33-34°f

Pick blueberries that are plump, dent-free and blue. Try to purchase your blueberries from a refrigerated display.

Avoid blueberries that have red skin, as they are under-ripe, and blueberries do not continue to ripen after harvest.

You may notice a silvery sheen on your berries, which is a good thing; it’s a blueberry’s way of protecting itself from the harsh rays of the sun.

Store blueberries in the refrigerator. Do not wash them prior to refrigeration.

Simply rinse before serving.

When handled and stored properly in refrigeration, blueberries can stay fresh

10-14 days after purchase

1 To make the chicken, whisk soy sauce and ginger together in a small bowl. Place chicken in mixture and marinate in refrigerator for about one hour. After marinating, prepare grill for direct grilling over medium-high heat. Place the chicken on the grill directly over the fire and cook until the juices run clear and the chicken is cooked through, about 5 to 8 minutes on each side.

2 To make the dressing, combine soy sauce, honey, lime juice, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth. Add the peanut butter and water and whisk again until smooth and creamy. Add more water as necessary until desired consistency is reached.

3 To assemble the wraps, divide ingredients into 4 servings, spread over wraps, layer with chicken and top with dressing. Fold the bottom edge of the wrap up. Fold the sides of the wrap inward and then roll the wrap up tightly to enclose all of the fillings. Serve immediately.
